I'm not sure what kind of logic you have that you think smoking cigs will help your depression, it will just give you one more thing to be depressed about. Not just the addicted part, but also the fact that you will stink. If you have a problem with how you look now, just imagine if you also had a problem with how you smell? Do you really think that will help your depression?

Also, I'm not sure why you assume smoking will help you loose weight, I see just as many fat smokers as I do skinny ones, so for the love of god don't associate smoking with a weight loss program!

You are probably lazy like I am, but seriously hit the gym. Working out does wonders for depression because it gets your blood moving, and it pulls you out of that depressed funk your in. Working out does a lot mentally, it isn't all just physical, but cigs do nothing positive.

There is never a smart reason to start smoking cigs, I started because like a young idiot I thought it would help me age and look older, but the reality is that it just made me stink and good looking girls don't like that. Trailer trash may not mind if you smell like cigs, hell they'll probably cling to you, but hot girls will never want to be around you if you smoke.
